As Alamance County and the city of Burlington consider incentives for a $40 million Sheetz, Inc. distribution center, the Altoona, Pa.-based gas and convenience store chain continues to expand its network of stores in the Triad.

Jeff Nimmer, vice president of leasing and brokerage for Kotis Properties, said Sheetz is planning a 6,500-square-foot store at 1300 Battleground Ave. in Greensboro, across from Trek Bicycle and the Carousel Theatres.

Nimmer, who handled the deal, said the store will go up on a 1.75-acre parcel of land owned by Kotis. The store will open in spring 2013, he said.

Meanwhile, Sheetz also is opening a 6,400-square-foot store Thursday in the Davidson County city of Midway. The store will employ between 40 and 45 full and part-time workers and is expected to add $3.5 million to the local tax base.

Stan Sheetz, the company's president and CEO, said in a statement that the Midway store will mark the 12th new North Carolina location for Sheetz this year and that the company continues to see strong sales from its customers.
